ADVANTAGES

Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves

WHY PRESSURE/VACUUM
RELIEF VALVES ARE
REQUIRED
1. Saves money by saving product.
2. Protects tank from over or under
pressure when sized properly.
3. Protection against fire hazard when
conforming to API standards.
4. Minimizes evaporation loss.
5. Reduces atmospheric corrosion
of tank.
6. Generally in all cases required
by OSHA, EPA, etc.
PRESSURE/VACUUM
VALVES
SAVE MONEY
Actually, any properly sized opening
in the tank’s upper structure protects
the tank from damage, but utilizing a
pressure and vacuum valve also
serves to accomplish other advan-
tages. Two of the more important
are: economic savings and fire haz-
ard protection. In 1952, American
Petroleum Institute developed a for-
mula to determine tank evaporative
losses. The API equation was for-
mulated after the results of a total of
256 individual tests were compiled.
Of the 256 tanks tested (1/2 with
open vents and 1/2 with
pressure/vacuum valves), only 178
were considered valid. The remain-
oz. pressure and 1/2 oz. vacuum.
API 2521 states that 1/2 oz. is the
usual setting.
CALCULATING TANK
PRODUCT LOSS
A multiple correlation for tanks 20
feet in diameter or larger, based
on model equation, derived from
the tests on the tanks, yielded in
the case of gasoline:
Ly = TPY ( P ) D1.73H.51T.50Fp
.68
1,000 14.7-P
Where:
Ly =
the breathing loss in barrels
per year.
TPY = turn overs per year
P = the true vapor pressure at
bulk liquid temperature in
pounds per square inch
absolute
D = tank diameter in feet
H = the average outage in feet
T = average daily ambient tem-
perature change
Fp = the paint factor
A modification of the above equa-
tion was then required which
would accommodate small-diame-
ter tanks.
Ly = TPY ( P ) D1.73H.51T.50FpC
.68
IN MOST CASES A
PRESSURE/VACUUM
RELIEF VALVE WILL PAY
FOR ITSELF BEFORE YOU
PAY THE INVOICE
The results of these tests indicate
that the evaporation loss on a tank
with a 55,000 barrel capacity
would be 2,000 barrels per year if
an open vent was installed, and
only 1,382 barrels per year if a
pressure/vacuum valve was uti-
lized, thereby saving 618 barrels
per year, every year. This study
also coined a new catchword,
“Conservation Vent.” So if you
hear the term conservation vent,
you know that the valve referred to
is a pressure/vacuum valve or
breather valve.
If the product in the tank cost $40
per barrel, this would be a savings
in one year of $24,720 per tank.
Pressure/vacuum relief valves
provide savings of millions of dol-
lars and millions of barrels
of product in a large facility such
as the one illustrated on page 4.

OPERATION
Pressure/Vacuum Valve Operation
HOW PRESSURE/VACUUM
RELIEF VALVES OPERATE
How does a pressure/vacuum valve
operate? Most atmospheric tanks
require a venting device that will
allow large volumes of vapor to
escape under relatively low pres-
sures. Usually the allowable set
pressure is in inches of water col-
umn pressure, both for positive and
vacuum conditions. This is because
most large storage tanks have a rel-
atively low maximum allowable
working pressure. These tanks are
generally large volume welded ves-
sels that are built to API 650 stan-
dard. In order to accommodate
large volumes at low set pressures,
these valves have ports that are
greater in area than the inlet or noz-
zle connection. The low setting
required necessitates weight loading
the valve as opposed to spring load-
ing. Because of the above, a pres-
sure/vacuum valve requires approxi-
mately 100% over set pressure in
order to reach full opening of the
valve. However, when deciding on a
set pressure, the weight-loaded
valve operation MAWP should be at
least twice the required set pressure

to obtain optimum flow. If the not exactly like a high pressure

PILOT OPERATED
RELIEF VALVE
The Pilot Operated Relief Valve is
designed to provide safe, depend-
able, and accurate low pressure
and/or vacuum protection. Full flow
is attained at no more than 10%
overpressure. This reduces the
need for high over pressure which
conserves product and reduces
fugitive emissions. Blowdown

FLAME ARRESTER In order to be an effective flame pre- AIR OPERATED

A flame arrester is a safety device
installed on a nozzle on top of a tank
when the flash point of the stored
product is lower than the possible
tank temperature. A majority of the
time, a “vent to atmosphere”
pressure/vacuum valve is installed
on top of the flame arrester. A
flame arrester is also used as in-line
safety device
vention device, a flame arrester
must have a quenching or hydraulic
diameter small enough to stop the
flame created by the combustible
gas. Each combustible gas has a
different required hydraulic diameter
to stop the flame.
In addition to stopping the flame,
an arrester must be able to dissipate
heat. Flame element mass ensures
that hot gases above the auto
ignition temperature never reach
the downstream side of the
flame arrester.
RELIEF VALVE
Air operated relief valves are used
to replace weight loaded and pilot
operated valves in severe
applications where polymerization
and crystalization may take
place and plug as well as corrode
the pilot valve. The pressure
switch coupled with a solenoid
valve and using plant instrument
air instead of corrosive product
vapor provides a bubble tight seal
in the valve.

With an in-line installation, structural

integrity is important to insure safety
if a detonation should occur. Proper
gasketing to insure an oxygen free
environment in the event of a deto-
nation is also important. Unless a
flame arrester meets or exceeds the
above mentioned design criteria, it is
not a true flame arrester.
MODEL 1520
DETONATION ARRESTER

A detonation arrester is another

where combustible gases are trans-
ported through low pressure pipe
lines to actual combustion, as in an
incinerator or flare or where com-
bustion fumes are vented through
piping to atmosphere where light-
ning can cause a flame. Flame
arresters should be designed to stop
tank farm fires caused by lightning,
sparking, or actual flame in the
immediate tank area, and to prevent
flashbacks in lines. In order
to accomplish the above, a flame
arrester must act as a barrier
(stop a flame), a flame holder (con-
tain the flame at the barrier), and
dissipate heat in order to prevent
auto ignition on the down side of the
flame arrester.
safety device installed in a piping
system. A detonation is defined as a
flame front propagating through a
flammable gas or vapor at a velocity
equal to or greater than the speed of
sound. A detonation arrester should
be installed when the source of a
flash back is greater than ten pipe
diameters from the installation of the
arrester or when there is a possible
restriction in the line. Groth
Detonation Flame Arresters are
bi-directional and can be installed in
a vertical or horizontal piping
installation. The model 7658A has
been successfully tested and USCG
approved as a Type II Detonation

tions where stationary flames may MODEL 7658A

VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM

With the implementation of the Clean Air Act of 1990, most Liquid Product Storage terminals and hydrocarbon
processing plants must control evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from loading and storage operations. Two types
of recognized technologies are vapor recovery using carbon absorption or vapor combustion. Both systems require
pressure/vacuum valves and flame or detonation arresters to minimize emissions and maximize safety.

VAPOR EMISSION REDUCTION
GAS BLANKETING
The Groth Blanket Gas Regulator
ensures that a constant gas pres-
sure is maintained in the vapor
space of a storage tank. When
liquid is removed from a tank or the
temperature is reduced, a vacuum
would be developed. With the Groth
Blanket Gas Regulator, a blanket
gas is supplied to prevent a vacuum
from developing and to maintain the
desired blanket pressure. In addition
to preventing outside air and mois-
ture from entering the storage ves-
sel, a blanket gas pressure, as low
as 1/2” W.C., reduces the evapora-
tion of the stored product to a negli-
gible amount. The result not
only conserves product but also
greatly reduces emissions. These
advantages are in addition to the fire
protection that is provided.
CLEAN AIR ACT OF 1990 METHOD 21 LEAK TEST
The 1990 amendment to the 1977 Clean Air Act, requires the emissions of
any of the identified volatile organic compunds (VOCs) be kept to under
500 parts per million (PPM). Method 21 is the leak test procedure used to
to detect rate of leakage from process equipment, including valves, flanges,
pressure relief devices, etc. Groth Corporation Pilot Operated Valves (with
the film seat option) and Blanket Gas Regulators provide pressure and/or
vacuum protection for liquid storage tanks while assuring your compliance
with the Clean Air Act.
CONCLUSION
Tank protection equipment is specialized. Understanding this equipment
and how it should be applied will ensure that your storage tank is protected
properly from any number of potential hazards. Protection from
rupturing or imploding, and protection from fire hazards are the major
considerations. Environmental and conservation features enhance the value
of these products.
